You do know that bitcoinplus charge a hefty fee, this is from their bitcoinplus for websites section:

Fees
The fee is 19%. If you add a link to Bitcoin Plus, there is a 4% discount on the fee, bringing it down to 15%.


Now looking at that, I find it hard to believe if you mine directly on bitcoinplus that they would only charge 3%

you need to find the command prompt. either in search or run, type 'cmd' and press enter. when the prompt shows up you need to get the path to where the file is, for me i just needed to go into the downloads folder by typing "cd downloads" then "bitcoin-miner.exe" the program will run and stay open and list all its options. you can start the miner here, but its easyer if you make a shortcut for it, never have to type anything again. make a shortcut to the exe, right click it and press properties, in the 'target' field at the end you can add a space a '-' then the switch/setting the open command prompt lists, ie use the command for connecting to the server then save it. then the shortcut will start the miner for you with the right settings.

you Do need to sign up for a mining pool though so it has some place to log into.

Some people also find it hard to believe that BCP is scamming people.

Please read this thread from the start.
You will find an email from BCP to me stating that they do charge 3%.

The concept is awesome though for the wordpress/blogger plugin or for any forum software for that matter.  If someone set up a service that let you do this and only took 1% of the BTC proceeds and set up adsense on their webpage they would make a ton of money and provide an EXTREMELY valuable tool for web developers to make way more revenue off of their users than ads ever could provide.  Sounds like a great open source project someone should work on...

I didn't do the math, but i have trouble thinking it's profitable to use BCP because of electricity cost
Adding to that fees, and the fact that it makes Mozilla crash, i'm not using it anymore.

Just wanted to post a thank you to the person who started this topic!  Thanks for saving me from wasting my time on that site.  I already mined about 0.0005 BTC but I'm stopping now.  That hidden 0.01 fee is really a bitch....
Already got 0.2 from freebitcoins.org this week, waaaay more efficient!

Anyone have the source to BitcoinPlus so someone else can build a more legitimate CPU mining web site?

i believe the mining source is in the original client source, just in a different language. if you wanted something to look at i know that is one thing you /can/ look at. Smiley

It was pointed out to me today that a pool owner can add transactions into the blocks the pool solves for free. so this guy really has no reason for fees unless the pool were in isn't his pool. but by running his own he would be able to save his users even more o.o tiny mh/s though so probably would take awhile to solve a block if he had his own pool. Eh, food for thought anyway Smiley

finally got to .02 btc thanks to my web viewers, and possibly a few bots.

someone mentioned some script to trap bots and force them to stay on your site, links anyone?
I just want to trap spam bots I get plenty of those, don't want to trap the google bots.

My fee was .01 btc, I wrote asking to reduce the fee to 0.0005 no response yet.

You should meet in the middle somewhere, like 0.005 Wink


Holy shit at catching spam bots.   I have not heard or read anything of that, I will definitely and obviously be keeping an eye out.  I will try and remember you are running java miner site/s.

People are still even using BitCoinPlus?  If I didn't have access to a GPU, I'd still use CPU Mining software in a better pool than BitCoinPlus.  BitCoinPlus is feature-limited and only seems to be a meh proof of concept.

I truly do not believe the intention was ever for the individual miner, but rather for the web site owner who has the ability to run the program off their own sites.  I have one, I like it, and I haven't earned crap Smiley  I am more interested in seeing the technology further.

Can we PLEASE get a developer to build on the concept this site started?  Having your website users mine for you is a great fucking idea.  But we need to get rid of the outrageous fees, etc.

Also can someone elaborate on getting spambots stuck at your site?  I would love to make money off of a spammer's CPU.  This would be great justice.
